Terms and Conditions of Purchase

We are interested in buying precious metal bullion from you. When you are ready to sell or liquidate a portion of your portfolio, sell to us. Learn more here.

In the event of a conflict between this general information and our Bullion Terms of Purchase, the Bullion Terms of Purchase shall control.

Bullion We Buy

We purchase not only all the various bullion products we show for sale on our website, but also many other forms of precious metal not shown for sale. Please call us to tell us about the bullion you have for sale, so we can give you an assessment of your bullion, including whether we're interested in buying your bullion.

Note On Shipping

When you sell bullion products to us you are responsible for all shipping and handling costs. We can assist in making shipping arrangements, however. Please call our bullion agents for help. Some restrictions may apply.

Pricing / Sale Process

We indicate sell prices on our website, but market movements may occur more rapidly than updates allow. Because precious metals prices change constantly, all orders must by placed by telephone so that prices can be locked in at the prevailing market. Prompt shipment is required; metals must be postmarked or shipped within two days of locking in your price.
Upon confirmation of your sale to us, we provide you a confirmation number. In some cases when buying back large dollar amounts, a 10-15% transaction fee may be required at the time of booking. This fee will be returned with payment when the transaction is completed. Transactions of $50,000.00 or more are subject to approval by our bullion manager before completion.

After we have confirmed your transaction via telephone, we will email you a copy of your purchase order. Failure by you to receive this email does NOT invalidate or otherwise cancel your transaction with us; you are still obligated to ship your precious metals in full and on time.

You shall take all steps necessary, including updating address books and adjusting spam or junk-mail filters, to ensure that you can timely receive all emails from us, complete with any attachments, in furtherance of this Agreement.

Purchase Order Cancellation Policy

When you sell your metals to us, you enter into a binding contractual agreement with us to ship all of the agreed precious metals to us. Should you wish to liquidate your trade, or if you do not ship the metals within 2 business days (5 business days for in-person sales); we will cancel and liquidate your transaction based on the prevailing market purchase price at the time of liquidation. You will be liable for any difference in the event of a market price increase. (See Paragraph 11, 'Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order for Failure to Deliver,' herein.)

Credit Card to Secure Price Lock / Charges for Unfulfilled Orders

We require your credit card information to secure the price lock of your transaction. There is no charge to your credit card if you ship the metals in full and on time. However, if you fail to ship in full and on time, we will involuntarily liquidate your transaction and charge your credit card. (See Paragraph 11, 'Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order for Failure to Deliver,' herein.)

Right to Reject Any Late or Defective Package

We reserve the right to reject any late or other defective package that doesn't comply with the terms of this agreement. All damaged packages will be refused for delivery and returned to the sender for inspection. You are responsible for filing any insurance claims that may be necessary. If your package is returned to you, you will need to contact the Bullion Department to arrange a reshipment of the items or liquidation of the transaction.

Right of Inspection

We inspect each package as it arrives. If the items contained are not as represented by the seller we reserve the right to modify or liquidate the transaction as necessary. All products will be returned to the seller if the transaction is liquidated for any reason. We reserve the right to refuse any items that are damaged or worn in excess of the industry-accepted standards. We will contact the seller immediately if any discrepancy is discovered and every effort will be made to resolve the matter in a timely fashion. We reserve the right to have any non-standard precious metals products assayed for pureness. The seller is responsible for the associated fees for such testing. Fees associated with any transaction may be deducted from the total agreed-upon payment due to the seller.

Confidentiality

We keep all transactions confidential, and do not report to any third parties, except to satisfy government cash-reporting requirements for dealers under federal regulations.

We pride ourselves on reputable service and our integrity in the marketplace. We have no hidden charges or fees and we would like to be your bullion dealer in the future, and work hard to make that happen.

Part II

BULLION TERMS OF PURCHASE

Please read carefully - this Agreement controls the terms under which bullion is purchased by Silver Gold Bull, LLC

IN CONSIDERATION of the following terms and conditions, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

The parties agree that the bullion items we offer to buy are commodities traded on various markets, and that the market price of such types of bullion change constantly with supply and demand. We alone shall set the bullion purchase price for all bullion that we offer to purchase.

All bullion trading done by us shall be done only by telephone or in-person sales at our office in Calgary, Alberta. From time to time, trading activity in the bullion market may be very high which may interfere with a Seller's ability to contact us by telephone to conduct bullion trading. Nonetheless, we shall continue to conduct bullion trading only by telephone, or through the website. We do not accept or conduct any bullion transactions through any other means other than by telephone or online requests.

Placement of Transaction Creates a Binding Agreement.

The parties agree that we are a leading bullion dealer in the bullion market with the substantial need to maintain our good name and competitive position;
and further that we are entitled to rely on the verbal promise from you to sell and complete the delivery of your bullion. In furtherance of this, the parties agree
that your placement of a bullion sale with us creates a binding legally enforceable agreement in which you agree to sell your bullion to us. You shall not thereafter
cancel any transaction before making delivery in full.

After you've placed your telephone sale, we will send you a note confirming your sale and a purchase via email. Failure by you to receive any of these does NOT invalidate or otherwise cancel your sale with us; you are still obligated to deliver your bullion
in full and on time. You shall take all steps necessary, including updating address books and adjusting spam or junk-mail filters, to ensure that
you can timely receive all emails from us, complete with any attachments, in furtherance of this Agreement.

Credit Card to Secure Price Lock / Charges for Unfulfilled Orders.

We require your credit card information to secure the price lock of your transaction. There is no charge to your credit card if you ship the metals in full and on time.
However, if you fail to ship in full and on time, we will involuntarily liquidate your transaction and charge your credit card. (See Paragraph 11, 'Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order for Failure to Deliver', herein.)

Recording of Order.

You consent and agree that we may keep a recording of your sale transaction to verify the terms of your sale; aid in training, auditing, or quality control;
comply with any laws as now exist or may hereafter exist; or for any other reason reasonably related to the business of dealing in bullion.

Payment.

Payment shall be in U.S. funds or Canadian. Payment will be issued to you by mail within two business days of our receipt of the metals received through the mail or a third-party carrier. If you deliver your metal in-person, you must deliver the metal to us within 5 business days of the transaction, and payment will be made to you upon delivery. Standard payment is made by business check mailed to the address you provided at the time of the transaction. For an additional $35 fee you can request our check be sent to you via overnight courier. A physical address is required for this type of delivery.

Shipment of Your Bullion.

You shall promptly ship all bullion within two business days of the transaction, (5 business days for in-person transactions). Packages must be received by our office no later than ten business days following the transaction date. You are responsible for all costs associated with shipping your metals to us. We are not responsible for any lost, misrouted, or damaged packages. We recommend that you register and insure your package.

Right to Reject Any Late or Defective Package.

We reserve the right to reject any late or defective package that does not comply with the terms of this agreement. Packages must be postmarked within two business days and arrive to us no later than 11 business days following the transaction. All damaged packages will be refused for delivery and returned to the sender for inspection. You are responsible for filing any insurance claims that may be necessary. If your package is returned to you, you will need to immediately contact the Bullion Department to arrange a reshipment of the items or liquidation of the transaction. Failure to contact the Bullion department to make arrangements will result in your transaction being involuntarily liquidated on the 11th business day following the original transaction.

Packaging of Bullion for Shipment.

Except for in-store deliveries to us, you shall package all metal being shipped to us consistent with our Packaging Guidelines. Additionally, you shall fully insure your package for delivery, and provide us a detailed packaging slip which shall include at a minimum an itemized description of the contents of the package, your name and your telephone number.

USA shipments.

While normally free of GST, Canadian shipments nonetheless require proper forms to clear Canada Customs. As the shipper you are responsible to properly complete all necessary forms, and provide any additional documentation. Please check with your carrier to insure that all forms are completed and provided at the time of shipment. The Canada Customs forms can be found through the Canada Customs website.

Involuntary Liquidation of Your Order for Failure to Deliver.

If you fail to deliver in full and on time as stated herein, we shall involuntarily cancel and liquidate your bullion sale as of the 11th business day after your transaction date. We will charge your credit card depending on how the market has changed since you placed your order. Market loss or gain is calculated as the difference between the original purchase price, and the bullion London Fix closing price on the 11th business day after your transaction date.

If the bullion market has gone up since you placed your order:

A $50.00 cancellation fee; plus the market difference on your order computed at the closing price for your bullion on the London Metals Market Fixing for the 11th business day after you placed your order.

If the bullion market has gone down since you placed your order:

A $50.00 cancellation fee; and you will not benefit from any difference in the market price.
